In relation to the other information requested, the Council stated it did not hold any further information beyond that which it had disclosed in response to previous requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to withhold the name of the external expert contacted by the Council under section 40(2) of FOIA. He is also satisfied that the Council does not hold any further information within scope of the request beyond what it disclosed in response to previous requests. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.FOI 1(1): Complaint not upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
